: Interesting read, BUT, I'm having a problem with a connection to David's new album? I mean, there are far worse artists/bands out ther getting way to much radio and media attention. It really all comes down to the amount of cash the record company is willing to fuel the PR machine?
: ...right?
: *Lost Highways could spend a million, pushing David's new disc?
: ...right?
I apologize that I wasn't very clear about the connection I was making with Moby and DB. But there actually is one believe it or not.
Of course, I'm sure anyone can see that these two have about as much in common as a guitar and a sitar. Sure, they both make music, but they don't have a sound that's at all alike.
But, here in my local radio market they do share one commonality. They are both played on one alt.rock station. The only one that has been playing HCTNFU (that I know of), albeit all too infrequently. I brought up Moby because this station has been playing the hell out of his "18" album. Perhaps as much as 5 times a day. I've probably heard HCTNFU 3 times - total. Sure, I'm happy that they at least play it, and it would probably stand a better chance on a station with a more appropriate format. Maybe an alt.country or americana format etc. But it's all we've got, so the more times this station plays Moby (or any of the other overexposed artists you mentioned), the less chance that they'll play HCTNFU (my thinking anyway). Personally, I just want to hear it more often. If Moby's popularity takes a tumble, pretty soon the station will start playing him less and less. This would open airtime for somebody else - perhaps even HCTNFU. That's the only reason I brought up the article, because they do in fact compete with one another directly here, odd as that combo may seem.
Hope that's a better explanation...
